- catalog abstract ""Who were the scribes that copied early Christian literature during the second and third centuries? What roles did they play in the reprodcution and dissemination of these writings?"

"The first study devoted exclusively to the copyists of Christian literature during the second and third centuries, Guardians of Letters will be of interest to students and scholars of Christianity, including textual critics of the New Testament and other early Christian literature as well as scholars interested in the transition and iterpretation of early Christian literature."--Jacket.".
